used to filter requests, log requests, or sometimes transform requests. Its cache can serve a lot of requests (If multiple clients access a particular resource, the proxy server can cache it and serve it to all the clients without going to the remote server.)

Open Proxy — accessible by any Internet user. Allows users within a network group to store and forward Internet services such as DNS or web pages to reduce and control the bandwidth used by the group.
